This is a prelude to closing the shop and teaching them a lesson.
The people weren't stupid; they all got up and prepared to leave.
But then, the reckless Cao Lun defied the odds and stood up, shouting, "Sit down! This is my wedding banquet, let's see who dares to leave!"
Full of momentum.
The crowd paused slightly.
"Um?"
Cao Tianming gave a soft hum.
It appeared to be unintentional.
But anyone could hear the threat in it.
After a moment's hesitation, everyone indeed chose the brightest path.
slip
Run as fast as you can.
For them, even if the person who spoke earlier was their leader, it wouldn't stop them from leaving. After all, the one who let them leave was the ancestor of the stronghold, a powerful saint.
Secondly, as the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. In a duel between a powerful expert in the Divine Realm or a Saint, even the slightest leak of information would be equivalent to annihilation for them.
Soon, only Cao Tianming and a few others remained in the main hall.
"You all go too."
Cao Tianming glanced at Cui Xiong and Cui You, and said.
Cui You was taken aback and was about to speak when Cui Xiong interrupted, "Yes, yes, Ancestor, let's go now."
The two left.
At this point, besides Cao Lun and Cao Tianming, only Cao Hao and a reluctant Su Xuan'er remained.
Cao Tianming has not made any move yet.
Cao Hao stepped forward and said to Cao Tianming, who had a very tough look on his face, "Hurry up and make the ancestor apologize."
"You go too."
Cao Tianming spoke up.
"Did you hear that? The ancestor told you to leave, what are you still standing there for..." Cao Hao said, looking at the beautiful Su Xuan'er beside Cao Lun.
But at that moment, Cao Tianming glanced at Cao Hao.
Cao Hao's mind immediately focused, and he walked out.
He knew that the ancestor meant for him to leave, and he dared not linger.
The hall felt much more spacious now.
Su Xuan'er was about to leave, but Cao Lun grabbed her despite the danger and said to Cao Tianming, "Ancestor, I have already married her. Whether you acknowledge it or not, she is your granddaughter-in-law and must call you Ancestor."
He then whispered to Su Xuan'er, "Quickly pay your respects to the Ancestor."
He wanted to make a decision only after the deed was done.
However, the moment his hand touched Su Xuan'er, she flung it away with a look of disgust. Her clear gaze fell on Cao Tianming, and she knelt down with a thud. "I don't want to marry him. I have someone I love. I hope you can let me leave."
This startled Cao Lun, who quickly whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
But Su Xuan'er ignored her and remained kneeling on the ground.
Cao Tianming looked coldly at Cao Lun, "Is this what you mean by mutual affection?"
Cao Lun gave an awkward laugh and forced a smile, saying, "It will take some more time, just a little while..."
"You should leave too." Cao Tianming took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently because of Cao Lun's incompetence, showing his overwhelming anger at this moment.
Su Xuan'er's eyes lit up immediately. After thanking him, she got up to leave, but Cao Lun suddenly pulled her down hard, saying fiercely, "You're my wife. I didn't say you could leave. You dare to move!"
"Cao Lun".
Cao Tianming lost his composure and roared, unleashing a surge of immense spiritual power. The oppressive aura emanating from the saint instantly enveloped the entire world.
Rumble rumble
The mountain stronghold seemed unable to withstand such a powerful force, and it shattered, revealing some cracks.
The space distorted slightly, and a heavy, mountain-like aura instantly pressed down on everyone.
Cao Lun was, after all, a Divine Realm martial artist, only one step away from the Saint Realm, making him much stronger than ordinary Divine Realm martial artists.
In addition, Cao Tianming had just broken through to the Saint realm, and his Saint realm was not yet fully realized. Therefore, he appeared somewhat calm and composed when facing the pressure of the Saint.
However, Su Xuan'er, who was standing to the side, was just a martial artist with shallow skills and was completely incompetent. Therefore, the moment the saint's pressure descended, her face turned pale and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
To her, the outside world felt like countless leaden steel needles piercing her skin.
Then, she felt everything go black before her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.
"Ancestor, you..."
Cao Lun was not having an easy time either. After seeing Su Xuan'er fall into a coma, his expression gradually turned ugly.
"Cao Lun, are you sure you want to attack me?"
Sensing Cao Lun's hostility and the spiritual power that was about to surge from the latter's body, Cao Tianming's expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy, even worse than when Cao Lun had argued back earlier.
Cao Lun dared to lay a hand on him.
This is not a good sign.
Cao Lun paused slightly, then focused his mind and stood up. He looked up at Cao Tianming and said, "Ancestor, I dare not, but... children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I hope that you can consider my father's sake and not let the tragedy repeat itself."
"Are you... blaming me?"
Cao Tianming's tone became even more sinister.
The might of the sage was on full display at this moment. Several towering pillars cracked with clear marks, and the space itself seemed unable to withstand such powerful force, shattering and revealing a terrifying void.
Meanwhile, the dark spatial fragments, accompanied by a powerful spiritual aura, descended upon Cao Lun.
